Introduction to Scientific Visualisation
This course is designed to introduce students of environmental science studies to computer-based graphic tools for scientific analysis as well as digital presentation of derived results. The course emphasis is on presenting available software tools and how to use and apply these in academic research where the focus is on computational fluid dynamics.
The course is in three parts available for download as pdf documents:
- Part 1: Background and general introduction (155KB)
- Part 2: Visualisation systems (Matlab, IDL) (457KB)
- Part 3: Visualisation systems (GMT, GrADS, Ferret, Vis5d+) (313KB)
Prydz Bay Topography: Showing mapping capabilities of Matlab.
Earth System Models: Information flow between a three component climate model using the OASIS coupler.
Introduction to HPC for Earth Systems Modelling
This course is designed to address specific features of high performance computing (HPC) for Earth systems modelling. Earth systems modelling is simulating (either in an integrated coupled manner, or on an individual basis) the components of the Earth for non-geological time frames. The course is not intended as a general introduction to HPC. A working knowledge of Unix and Fortran is assumed.
The course is available for download as a single pdf document (2.5MB).
